Last.fm has changed their API; for those who are not programmers, an API (application programming interface) is a set of routines that allow a program to make requests to another program or web service. In and of itself, changing an API is not a bad thing and, in many cases, can be quite beneficial. For instance, adding new features to an API can allow programmers more options for interracting with the product.
Okay, so apparently it is National Neil Diamond Day. I heard this on the radio today and thought it was a joke, but a quick search on Google shows that its not. Really, he get’s his own day?

Okay, so normally I assume that when I buy used CDs they will have some slight wear and tear from normal use or possibly that the jewel case will be cracked or have a hinge broken off. No big deal, jewel cases are cheap enough to replace, and I end up rounding the edges of the booklets a bit taking them out and putting them back in the case, so a slightly worn booklet will look like the other CDs in my collection. But seriously, I received something really farked in the mail today.
